The Strokes are back with a song that not only blows everything they released after “Is This It” out of the water, but it also spits in the face of musical singles released this year. “Under Cover of Darkness” returns to the rocking style that first made the band famous. With the release of this song, the sour taste of their last album is gone. The beat is exciting, head-bob worthy and easy to get into. Without a doubt, this is the band’s best work since its debut album.
